ABSTRACT:
Hot liquid supply and distribution structure for use with crossflow cooling towers is disclosed which permits selective variation of the amount of liquid delivered to respective fill sections of the tower in order to optimize liquid cooling therein under varying ambient weather conditions while also minimizing the amount of piping and manually operated controls needed for precise flow and distribution control. Primary supply means preferably in the form of an elongated flume or conduit is situated inwardly of and adjacent to an inner distribution basin with a plurality of outwardly extending secondary flumes or conduits interconnecting the primary supply means and an outer distribution basin. Overflow structure is also provided in the primary supply means for permitting gravitation of hot liquid therefrom to the inner basin when the liquid level in the primary supply means reaches a predetermined height; the outwardly extending flumes or conduits are connected to the primary supply means below the overflow level thereof so that liquid continuously flows towards the outer basin during all tower operations. In preferred forms, selectively actuatable gate-type flow control structure is positioned within the secondary flumes or conduits for variably restricting fluid flow therethrough as desired.
